Acrocanthrosaurus


Acrocanthrosaurus is a meat-eater from the early Cretaceous. It has a ridge on its back, but it's not as big as the Spinosaurus ridge.  It's a part the theropard club, which means it's a three-towed feet and a long tail for balance.

A theropod has a great sense of smell! I think that Acrocanthrosaurus had a great sense of smell. 

Fossils for this dinosaur have been found in Texas and Oklahoma and paleontologists have recently been able to study things about Acro's brain!!

Here's a video for you to watch.  I think it's funny. There's a red carnivore and a blue herbivore. First, the herbivore whacks his tail and the meat eater bites his neck, and then the herbivore dies!
